#MeToo Story Number 25 - By Charlotte

 My first memory in life is being molested at age 5. It wasn’t the last. At age six I started having nightmares every single night of a monster coming to get me. These nightmares escalated and have been consistent throughout my entire life. At age 16, I was raped. For the longest time I couldn’t even call it that. I blamed myself. I tried to push him off me, I said no. I went through high school pretending it didn’t happen. But it happened again, age 20, age 21, age 22. I’m 24 years old now, and am haunted every single night with remembering. Thank you for sharing my story because I am still too afraid to speak up.
